The music for the film was performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony
Orchestra, orchestrated by Lawrence Ashmore, and conducted by Sir Simon
Rattle. The soundtrack recording was published by EMI in 1989. I haven't
been able to find any information about publication of the score; it
might be available from the Renaissance Theatre Company, which produced
the film. EMI is another possibility.

Patrick Doyle web page at <http://web.syr.edu:80/~ebedgert/doyle.html>;
she might have some leads as well.

Comment: Re: SHK 10.0033 Re: Shakespeare in Love
It's interesting to see how every age and persuasion is inclined to
remake Shakespeare in their image. So I guess it's not surprising that
he's now been compared with the current U.S. president. (I'm wondering
if we should brace ourselves soon for a comparison with Leonardo di
Caprio or the members of 'N Sync-but maybe list members are still a bit
too stodgy for that.)
I think more interesting comparisons could be made between the president
and some of Shakespeare's characters, such as Bertram in All's Well.
Here is just one quotation among many that could be used in making such
a comparison (the last scene of the play is also rich in parallels).
Bertram's companions are reflecting on his sexual escapades and his lack
of regard for his wife:
<[2. Lord.]> . . . The great dignity that his
valor hath here acquir'd for him shall at home be
encount'red with a shame as ample.
<[1. Lord.]> The web of our life is of a mingled yarn,
good and ill together: our virtues would be proud, if
our faults whipt them not, and our crimes would
despair, if they were not cherish'd by our virtues.
(All's Well That Ends Well 4.3.68-74)
I believe this (along with many other passages) shows that Shakespeare's
often noted tolerance is not quite as mindless as some suggest.
Certainly, he's not narrowly judgmental, but much of what I like to
consider Shakespeare's greatness lies in how he combines compassion and
understanding with moral insight and evaluation.

At the risk of making it even sillier, permit me to point out that, even
giving justifiable concern to the ravages of cholesterol, a stake is
more acutely dangerous to the heart than a steak.

You're all missing the obvious truth. It was not the translator(s) of
the Psalms, but the Author who was really responsible for the word
arrangement. When God inspired David (?) to compose the original Hebrew,
He knew that it would be translated in the 46th year of Shakespeare's
life into this arrangement of English. This is a sign that Shakespeare
is one of His true saints. We should call the Pope immediately.

Subject: A Quick Question
You say you're interested in Shakespeare trivia questions? May I
suggest one?
It seems obvious that William Shakespeare had a great interest in Italy.
The following Shakespeare plays have some or all of the action taking
place in that country.
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, THE COMEDY OF ERRORS,
CORIOLANUS, CYMBELINE, JULIUS CAESAR, THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, MUCH ADO
ABOUT NOTHING, OTHELLO, ROMEO AND JULIET, THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, TITUS
ANDRONICUS, THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, THE WINTER'S TALE.
H'mm. Seems to me there's one play that doesn't belong in the above
list.
Which play?
